Default 1927 Mercedes 680K Supercharged in Delhi....

I visited a farmhouse in Delhi to make some offers on a few vintage and classic cars for sale. While going through the collection i came across one of the most beutiful cars i have ever seen... yes the mercedes 680K.



1927 Mercedes 680K Supercharged. The German car is reported to be the only one of the six that were made by Mercedes Benz for racing. The vehicle was brought to India by an erstwhile Maharaja, who was an avid racing fan and used to participate in racing events at Silverstone.
The story is that the maharaja bought the car to take part in a race. But before this happened his parents found out and i asked for him to come back to India. He brought the car back with him...
